The White House- Napoleon/Nathan Administration

[Speed of Sound]

Mr. President, not to get my time in the cabinet off on a bad foot, but I really must agree with the men above me. The sides seem very strongly opposed, however, and I fear that this one is headed to the Supreme Court...which may not be a bad thing.

I think perhaps the simplest thing to do would be to expedite passage of Napoleon's version of the law as a compromise and let the legal issue lie. Is everybody okay with that?

Unless it is unanimously agreed upon, does there not appear with the new Senators to be enough votes to override the veto?

You know, the Supreme Court is twiddling its thumbs, looking for work...

Not to pile things on, but if the President intends to turn power over to the VP, he needs to follow this procedure:

Right you are, and while I would love to see that happen, I suspect that the Federal Government will, as a whole, accept his declaration in this thread as sufficient. It may get particularly interesting should Nathan not show up.
